Marine Forces, Special Operations Command Team Readiness Exercise II Subject Matter Expert Support Statement of Work 3 – 13 December 2020

1. OVERVIEW:

This Statement of Work (SOW) covers the need for a reliable and flexible Contractor to provide Training Readiness Exercise II (TRX II) support to include: Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), SOF communications, and SOF logistics support for the training, education, and evaluation of Marine Raider Support Team Marines. Specific area of focus being their ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support. It requires SIGINT role players and SOF support subject matter experts (SMEs) across all warfighting functions. The preparation for multi-discipline intelligence operations and fused integration between HUMINT, SIGINT, all-source analysis and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is essential for preparing Marine Raider Support Teams (MRSTs) for future employment in support of deployment operations. Specific training is critical to prepare Marines of MRSTs to deploy and execute intelligence, communications, and logistic operations in support of special operations missions.

2. BACKGROUND:

MARSOC trains and prepares MRSTs for deployments with Marine special operation companies (MSOCs) and teams (MSOTs) across the full spectrum of special operating environments – hostile, denied, and politically sensitive. During this force generation cycle, the MRSTs participate in multiple team level exercises during the unit training phase (UTP). The MRST must be collectively proficient in all individual and collective tasks as identified within the supporting documents. These teams are expected to have completed exercises which rehearse the MRST’s ability to operate and trouble-shoot all communications equipment and intelligence systems, and provide opportunities to develop internal tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). MRSTs are required to participate in a culminating TRX II, which provides the Commander an opportunity to assess the MRST’s ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support to an MSOC and/or Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) and their special operations.
